Each follows a path.
Some guide, some lead.
It's not always a choice.
Whether we fail or succeed.
To keep trying is the fuel.
To succeed is the goal.
While others insert
Stumbling blocks in our path.
We’re taught to admire,
To envy and wish.
We were the focus
Of all the other “fish”.
We swim in circles
Trying to succeed.
Following behind
Crumbs satisfy.
Then one day we see
It’s not worth the chase.
We turn and we walk
A smile on our face.
Success is two faced. We chose or replace.
